Restaurant

By Ricardo Segreda

They call themselves "La Italiana," and to that end, among the several menus they offer, is one featuring not just pizza and spaghetti (and their "special pizzas" pushing new limits of creativity), but "prosciutto con palmito." The design itself evokes the proud elegance of old Italy, with linen napkins folded into glasses. There is also a separate, exclusively seafood menu and a nouveau Arequipa selection, with many variations of guinea pig. They take all credit cards, but their sound system is amped up a little too much.

Big portions of tasty food

Rating: 100%

We found this restaurant by chance. It lacks the atmosphere of the cozy, little candlelit pizza places on the same street. However, my (big) vegetable risotto was the best I´ve ever had and my boyfriend recommends the pizza and veggie lasagna. This place is vegetarian friendly. The service is a bit clingy for me but if you like to be waited on, you will enjoy the attentive staff! A lucky find and good value.

Great value, good food. Nothing overly authentic, but for Arequipa the quality is very good. Huge selection and different seating areas.

Incredible dish selection from three menus. The chef deserves a 4-5 star rating. Dishes were well prepared with a splendid presentation. Waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable. Great wine selection, I had my eye on a 2002 Don Melchor. Maybe I'll be back soon to enjoy it.
